Extract

The fast growing woody plant known as marabú, (Dichrostachys nutans), is native to Africa but it has found a favorable environment in Cuba. At present, dense stands of it, 20 feet and more in height, cover vast areas of the island, and a great deal of land has had to be abandoned on account of it. The ease with which it becomes established in turf or in neglected sugar cane lends exceptional interest to the development of methods of controlling, or, if possible of eradicating the plant.
